Decimation Food Log

2 scoops of protein shake and 12oz semi skimmed milk.

180 cals milk about 8 g protein.
232
432 cals total about 52g protein

15g plus of sugar.

As stated might be better suited to a treat every now and then.

It was a bit runny and icy actually. I think 24 hours was too long to freeze it for.

I may try coconut milk next weekend. it is meant to work better.

I am doing a lot less physically in work now. I am mostly on the yard.

I am going to boil some eggs now for tomorrow.

Because it’s a lot of fat.

As you said, a good treat now and then. And you said now is the time for drastic measures. Is next weekend a good time for a treat?

I like this Layne Norton quote. ā€œDon’t treat yourself with food: you aren’t a dogā€

Was it satisfying? It doesn’t look like it would be, but that’s a lot of protein so maybe it is.

Just something to note: 8 ounces of coconut milk has roughly 500 calories. So if you do go that route, your ā€œhealthyā€ ice cream will come in around 1,000 calories. I would highly recommend not doing that.

Thanks Emily.
Yes it was quite satisfying. But not the best. A bit icy and runny. I’m not fussy though.

definitely will give that a miss.

Ok here goes .
I was out in the storm all day stood on the gate function for the vans.Well 6 hours anyway. Storm Burt.

So no excuses but

3 poached eggs and 110 cal i.em two slices of low calorie bread
not too bad
bacon , chicken pasta mix about 500 cal

but hot drinks 2 hot chocolate
1 espresso choc
so about another 350 cals.

my pulse seemed to go down a bit and I was shivering to 50 but could be faulty reading wet Samsung watch

I work night shifts and my body temp can often drop at the back end of the shifting, leaving me to ā€œcraveā€ all sorts of crap and something hot to warm me up.

If you have time for prepping ice cream, you have time to prep a small hotpot/stew or some form of soup. Easy to sub out 350cals (a gross underestimate here I think) of hot junk for 350 cals of a cup of something nutritious.

I live in the north and find that hot tea or coffee warm me very well when it’s cold out, with no sugar (I don’t use it). Sure, you need calories, but those can come from anything. I sometimes bring a baggie of cooked chicken pieces with me to work and just grab one when I need it. You could have it in your pocket, if it’s chicken breast rather than thigh, which I think would be too messy.

Lately I bring a whole cut green pepper for afternoon snack, as I’m just trying to get through the day and home to dinner. It feels filling because it’s so crunchy and big-seeming. It wouldn’t be what I’d bring for the cold, though.

Was this considered a victory in terms of giving up chicken samosas by switching to the bacon pasta mix?

I’ll suggest you go back and skim the 1st 50 posts of this log. It is virtually interchangeable with the bad habits/foods and excuses and ā€œwill do better tomorrowsā€.
If your not going to at least give it a fair try why even bother logging? Everything is just a jumble of thoughts, random foods, cals and workouts. Nothing makes sense or is listed in a way that you can track.

if I’m honest there are none left

I applaud your honesty here. Carry that forward with your intentions to not eat them.

The beef stew is an excellent choice.

You have an incredible spouse. This ranks as one of my favorite books on training. I might actually re-read it again, since you’ve brought it up. I like Jim’s basic take on nutrition as well.

This sounds like a much better day, if I were to tweak I’d probably up the egg quantity for breakfast and double up the protein shake (single scoop approx 30g powder by the looks of it?) I go two scoops every time, rather too much protein than too little particularly when trying to lose weight.

Keep it up and you’ll be a new you this time next year!

Is this vending machine? Gotta break free from that. A homemade sandwich of bread and turkey with some mustard would have been a much better option.
Just an FYI
1g of protien is 4 cals. You ate 14.2cals of protien in that sandwich. That’s only 56.8cals out of the 509cals in that sandwich. That’s only about 11% of the cals coming from protien. The rest is fat and carbs. Very similar to eating pizza. High carb/fat, low protien. You need to shoot for higher protien spread across your meals. This will assure your eating the right foods. Try to shoot for a 40%protien/40%carb/20%fat ratio across all of your normal meals. Snacks are fine to have a shake that is all protien or protien/carb or protien/fat. Protien needs to be the driver in all meals with cabs and low fat or low cabs and a little fat. Carb/fat heavy meals are a no no.
